Sunday, May 26: As planned, Jobs and Sculley met in back of the Stanford campus on Sunday afternoon
5月26日，周日：按照計劃，當天下午，喬布斯和斯卡利在斯坦福大學校園后面碰頭，
and walked for several hours amid the rolling hills and horse pastures.
兩人在起伏的丘陵和馬場上走了幾個小時。
Jobs reiterated his plea that he should have an operational role at Apple.
喬布斯重申了自己的請求，認為自己應該在蘋果公司擔任一個運營職位。
This time Sculley stood firm. It won't work, he kept saying.
這一次，斯卡利的立場很堅定，不停地說不行。
Sculley urged him to take the role of being a product visionary with a lab of his own,
斯卡利力勸喬布斯接受產品架構師的職位，帶領自己的小團隊。
but Jobs rejected this as making him into a mere "figurehead."
但是喬布斯拒絕了這個提議，因為這會讓自己變成一個“有名無實的領導者”。
Defying all connection to reality, he countered with the proposal that Sculley give up control of the entire company to him.
喬布斯摒棄了現實，建議斯卡利讓權給自己。如果這話不是出自喬布斯之口，肯定會令人驚訝。
"Why don't you become chairman and I'll become president and chief executive officer?" he suggested.
“你來當董事長，我來當總裁兼CEO，為什么不這樣呢？”他說道。
Sculley was struck by how earnest he seemed.
喬布斯說這話的時候一副非常認真的模樣，斯卡利驚呆了。
"Steve, that doesn't make any sense," Sculley replied.
“史蒂夫，這個提議完全沒有意義。”斯卡利回復道。
Jobs then proposed that they split the duties of running the company,
接著，喬布斯又提議他們一起分擔管理公司的責任，
with him handling the product side and Sculley handling marketing and business.
他來處理產品方面的問題，斯卡利則負責營銷和商業上的問題。
But the board had not only emboldened Sculley, it had ordered him to bring Jobs to heel.
董事會不僅讓斯卡利有了底氣，他們還命令斯卡利讓喬布斯服從。
"One person has got to run the company," he replied. "I've got the support and you don't."
“公司只能由一個人掌管，”他回答說，“董事會支持的是我，而不是你。”
